Pedro Gallón

Pedro Gallón, like his brother Juan, is associated with Colombia's troubled history of drug trafficking and paramilitary violence. Both brothers were previously connected to the Medellín Cartel and were implicated in the murder of footballer Andrés Escobar, whose death underscored the dangerous intersection of sports and crime in Colombia. The Gallón brothers have continued to be figures of interest in discussions about criminality and violence in the country.
